Paper Camera – Huge update and Huge sales: 110k downloads in a month

London, United Kingdom – Paper Camera has been topping the charts since its launch, and they did it without any marketing budget, but solely through customer satisfaction. Paper Camera has been chosen by Apple as “App of the week” in some countries, and has been featured by Apple in pretty much every country, reviews and feedbacks have been extremely positive, showing that quality and talent are still what people truly appreciate.

JFDP Labs are a small start-up team and they are very proud and humbled by such a positive response, and, even if they used to be part of great AAA game companies which sold millions of copies of their blockbuster games, every single email and review means much much more to them, it feels like there’s a connection with them, and that is a very powerful feeling.

When JFDP Labs launched Paper Camera it was missing of a function for importing existing pictures, within days there were flooded by requests to add such feature, the team started immediately to work on it and released it just a week later.

JFDP Labs would like to stress that they don’t use/copy/collect any GPS or location data in their app, they have used a new version of the photo-library that allows great customization and such library requires “Location Services” to be activated, in case you want to geo-tag your pictures. Paper Camera though will not user/copy/collect any data but it cannot remove that warning because it’s embedded in the operative system. That’s the only reason. JFDP Labs is working to rectify this issue probably using an older version of that library that does not require Location Services.

If you don’t know yet what Paper Camera is all about this is how JFDP Labs describe it:

“What if you could see your everyday life, your house, your street, your school, your family as a sketch up, a cartoon, a comic book, and old paper or as a crayon draw? Paper Camera delivers instant gratification, amazes you, and it can do it anywhere, at anytime.”

JFDP Labs have developed many photography apps and their main focus has always been to be on the cutting edge of mobile camera/photography technology. With Paper Camera, they are pushing those boundaries even further. All the processing is done in real-time on the camera video feed. Those filters/effects are so complex they would require few seconds to compute for a normal post-processing camera app. With Paper Camera you can actually see them in real time.

JFDP Labs is a London-based company founded by ex-AAA game developers. The company has worked on many AAA titles, including more than 20 apps for the iPhone and iPad platform.
